Flowering jacaranda tree

Jacarandas can reach 25 to 40 feet in height with an equal or greater spread. The flowers as you can see are absolutely gorgeous, flowering in the spring for a few months and then again in the fall. The tree in the photo is probably at least 20 feet high. I am on higher ground looking down towards the tree. The bright orange flowers are Mexican bird of paradise flowers. These are the best landscaping plants for this extreme heat area. The bush with the white little flowers is a wild bush called Creosote also known as Chaparral, they seem to do just fine with zero water.
